Electric brain stimulation plus vision training for glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining a short vision learning program with non-invasive electrical stimulation to the brain can improve vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It may help by training the visual system while stimulating brain pathways to support vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have primary open-angle glaucoma or normal-tension glaucoma in both eyes.
- Your glaucoma includes a specific type of vision field loss in the central area (based on a standard eye test).
- Your central eyesight is still fairly clear (best-corrected vision of 6/12 or better).
- Your vision/field loss has been stable for at least 3 months and your thinking score on the HK-MoCA is 22 or higher.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can improve peripheral (side) vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It targets people whose central vision is still relatively preserved but whose side vision has a measurable “gap” on vision testing.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve balance and thinking in older adults with glaucoma. It involves a series of sessions where a mild electrical current is applied to the brain.
This trial tests if active video games and exercise can help people with glaucoma improve their balance and daily function. It's for people who have stable vision loss and can still walk independently.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with moderate vision loss from glaucoma. It might offer a new way to strengthen remaining vision.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called rtACS, which may help damaged optic nerves work better.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on the eye can slow or improve vision loss in people with open-angle glaucoma. It uses a device you can use at home after training.
